Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Readout Health (Biosense) was a legitimate venture-backed startup that developed a clinical-grade breath ketone monitor. However, external verification indicates the product is discontinued and the company appears to have ceased operations as of late 2024. The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. While the hardware technology was innovative and clinically validated, the project's current 'dead' status and the submission's lack of credibility result in a minimal Proof of Usefulness score.
